A Florida McDonald’s Is Paying $50 Just To Come In For An Interview
BATH, ENGLAND – FEBRUARY 19: A branch of McDonald’s is pictured on February 19, 2018 in Bath, England. The number of takeaway restaurants has increased significantly in the last few years and this has raised concerns that this can lead to over-consumption in cheap, unhealthy high-fat nutrient-poor food and drink leading to higher body weight and greater risk of obesity.

Wait, so I can make an easy $50.00 just by going on an interview?
That’s exactly what’s happening at a McDonald’s in Tampa, Florida.
According to Blake Casper, a McDonald’s franchise owner, one of his restaurants is short on staff and having trouble recruiting applicants. Some things that could play a factor in the hiring issue is the enhanced unemployment benefits and with more businesses opening back up, there is more competition.
Casper stated that he has also increased starting wages to entice applicants.
As the economy reopens, finding fast food workers is apparently trickier than you may think. https://t.co/RsOq5RzIfY
